Soft proofing from within the ACR dialog. You can now choose an ICC color profile and simulate additional factors like rendering intent and the paper and ink. These options can now be applied to the photograph through the ACR dialog, even before you open it in Photoshop.

ICC-based color spaces support from within the ACR dialog. The ACR dialog now allows you to preview your photographs with arbitrary ICC-based output color spaces. Available color spaces include grayscale, RGB, Lab, and CMYK color spaces.

Image sizing is now more flexible, with the ACR dialog providing multiple options to resize a photograph. These options are placed within the Image Sizing section, immediately beneath the Color Space section.

Presets. Store commonly used settings as a preset. Save frequently applied settings from the Workflow Options or Save Options dialog as a preset, and then apply the preset on multiple photos with ease.

Cropping follows a modified workflow with the introduction of the new Image Sizing workflow. Use the Image Sizing option in the Workflow Options and Save Options dialogs to specify a desired absolute image size.
